How Dr. Gianiodis’ research is transforming health care

Peter’s research is transforming health care is two important ways. First, he and his colleagues are investigating how nonprofit hospitals, which align with for-profit partners, manage the complexities of these relationships. Specifically, they are looking at how these hospitals leverage co-opetition within and across the hospital’s business units. Second, he and his colleagues integrate organizational theory to better understand value co-creation between physicians and their patients. As the industry seeks to solve chronic health problems, they argue that the delivery model needs to evolve to better leverage the patient’s abilities and motivate them to cooperate.
